If you told me this Joe Chambers track was a primary influence on TNT, I would not be at all surprised

one year passes...

New Jeff Parker record is just insanely good, like nearly perfect.

I guess I'm intrigued, because I've never really liked his playing. Which album is the new one?

The New Breed, it's great

Wait, that's not the new one, is it? Is it Suite for Max Brown?

Link to buy new reissue is broken, link to their merch is broken. The 'marketing' behind this band is being run by idiots. Do they not want money for their merch and albums?

Whoa, calm down, it'll be okay.

fyi - you can also buy the reissue on bandcamp - https://tortoise.bandcamp.com/album/rhythms-resolutions-clusters

Seems like a totally fair comment to me tbqh. Bands should keep their websites up to date, especially when it concerns product.

lord of the rongs (anagram), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 18:28 (one year ago) link

yeah, it's definitely annoying, but "run by idiots" seemed a little much.

just wait until the better business bureau finds out about these broken links, they'll have a thing or two to say to these nincompoops

When I think of tortoise I can only think of how I have the vinyl of TNT and wonder if I can get money for it

They’re quietly gearing up to release new music, and this is part of that. (Tour and reissue, not links that briefly don’t work.)
